The Veitia team has just published a new paper in Cancer Research :
The Oncogenic FOXL2 C134W Mutation Is a Key Driver of Granulosa Cell Tumors
Abstract
Adult-type granulosa cell tumors (AGCT) are the most common type of malignant ovarian sex cord–stromal tumors. Most AGCTs carry the somatic variant c.402C>G (p.C134W) affecting the transcription factor FOXL2.…
Invited by the Ladoux/Mège team, Prisca Liberali (Senior Group Leader, Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research -FMI) will an IJM seminar entitled:
Design principles of tissue organization
SELF-ORGANISATION DURING COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR
Robust experimental model systems have recently been developed from adult or induced pluripotent stem cells that self-organise into organoid structures in vitro. In particular, intestinal organoids…

Watch now on our new Youtube channel the lecture given by Catherine Jessus - IBPS (in french) :
La complexité du vivant : l’Institut Jacques Monod
au cœur des avancées du XXIème siècle
The Protoseine Facility has just published a new paper in Journal of Chromatography B :
Capillary liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry for analysis of nanogram protein quantities on a wide-pore superficially porous particle column in top-down proteomics
Abstract
In top-down proteomics experiments, intact protein ions are subjected to gas-phase fragmentation for MS analysis without…
The Grange/Geigl team recently published a book chapter i Microbial Environmental Genomics (Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB,volume 2605)
Analysis of Ancient Microbial DNA
Abstract
The development of next-generation sequencing has led to a breakthrough in the analysis of ancient genomes, and the subsequent genomic analyses of ancient human skeletal remains have…
Invited by Paul Conduit, Susana Godinho (Barts Cancer Institute, London, UK) will give an IJM Seminar entitled :
Microtubules as mediators of stress responses and repair
Research
Cancer cells often contain extra centrosomes. The centrosome is the main microtubule-organizing centre in animal cells, an essential component of the cytoskeleton. In normal cells, centrosome number is tightly regulated,…
The first Monod-Diderot Lecture of the year will welcome Yves Barral (ETH Zürich) for a presentation entitled :
Mechanisms of microtubule specialization and its role in asymmetric cell division
Free access in Amphi Buffon - 15, rue Hélène Brion - 75013 Paris
Barral Lab:
Cells are the basic unit of life and have acquired in evolution not only…
The next Cytoskeleton Club session will be held on January 18th at the Institut Curie (Amphi Burg) with :
Foad Ghasemi (PhD Student, Romet-Lemonne / Jégou Lab - Institut Jacques Monod) : "New surprises from an old friend: Arp2/3, nucleation of actin filament branches and beyond"
Aurore Maciejewski (PhD Student, Jaulin Lab - Institut…
Invited by Sandra Duharcourt, Antoine Hocher (MRC, London Institute of Medical Sciences) will give on January 6th a seminar entitled :
Histones, beyond eukaryotes
Research
Our goal is to understand how what is happening inside the cell biases the incidence of mutations, affects their persistence, and, ultimately, shapes patterns of natural variation within and between species.
Some…
